Nearly six months after sustaining serious head injuries in a skiing accident, seven-time Formula One champion Schumacher left a French hospital on Monday and was transferred to neighboring Switzerland to continue his recovery, ESPN.com reports.

Schumacher is said to be "showing small signs of progress" in his recovery from a serious brain trauma as the seven-time Formula 1 world champion continues to be treated for injuries sustained in a skiing accident last December, the Independent reports.

Schumacher's doctors have started trying to wake up the former Formula Champion from the medically induced coma he's been in since a skiing accident last month, his manager said Thursday, ESPN.com reports.

Schumacher remains in a critical but stable condition, with his management asking the media not to speculate about his condition. Schumacher spent a sixth night in a coma following his 45th birthday on Friday and his condition has not changed on Saturday, ESPN F1 reports.

Schumacher's condition has remained stable since Tuesday after spending a third night in a coma in the hospital. Schumacher remains in a critical condition overall and is still in intensive care at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Grenoble, ESPN F1 reports.
